Tycooner Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 In that case, how about we limit one company to having a max only one article a month? Or one manager etc. That way, we'll get the top org stuff as well as the new stuff? Just an idea. Tycooner, Deuce7 seems to be willing to take it up. How does that sound? i am ok with anything as long as it's ok with everybody (most) it's fine by me 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thb Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 I kinda have to disagree with that. First of all, Jay has been doing a phenomenal job of making sure the Times keeps its diversity by including as many types of write-ups as possible. But he can only work with what he's been given and as he's already mentioned, the Times doesn't come out as frequently as it used to. If there are more articles of one type - and most of the articles come from orgs - it's only natural that he has to make choices on who to publish. Quality should always come first imo and I personally think Jay has done splendid work in that regard. But if there are multiple articles on the same level and you have to choose between a small org and a big org, isn't it only natural to choose a big org because of name recognition? If a real-life newspaper had a choice to make between two stories to run of equal value but one was about a big-time organization and the other about a small one, wouldn't they choose the big one every single time? 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't compare a fictional newspaper on an online text based game to a real life newspaper because... well I hopefully don't need to explain that. All I'm saying is in the interest of the games progression give the smaller orgs and new guys preference. Mentor isn't going to leave this game if one of his 8 gamma write ups submitted everyday doesn't feature in the times, but it could put off new guys who see this elitist culture and feel too distanced from it and can't catch a break 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 My local paper use to talk about Ms.Henrys chickens and Farmer Bucks Cattle... Man I miss those simple articles. I have to agree with Shiv and Rocket though. We need to post more from younger/newer players. I understand 100% where Jay is comming from and to be honest feel sorry for him having to deal with this mess. Formatting should have been fixed long ago. We have active players that have put themselves on the publisher list. What are they doing? Are they active with the paper or just there to promote themselves and their friends? Or are they letting Jay take the brunt of the work on this paper? I probably shouldnt say much since I dont have time to help out but I do believe it needs a tweak. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Affekonig Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 I opened my business on June 22nd and submitted 2 things and never heard or saw anything about them. I could have messed it up so I'm not mad or upset by it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coton81 Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 how about alternating between the established orgs and managers one issue then the newer orgs etc in the next one would still b a similar amount of work but that way every one gets a mention and if time was advaliable may b a special edition to cover a big event Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 I'd be interested in helping you out jay on me in game if you want any help 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornmma1 Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Jay is really trying to do his best and is the one who makes that this is actually being published. I for example am just staff to accept the paper so that it gets submitted once he gave the green light. He knew that I would not be able to help with ordening it etc, but I help him get it submitted once he finished it, as it needs two approvals before it can be sent out. So if more active managers actually really could help Jay out, that would certainly benefit the Tycoon newspaper! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WallyBalls Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 I would be willing to help out with the paper as well. It would be nice to see a diverse selection of writing in the paper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 I was added to the tycoon times within this last week. I'm still learning the editing/format. Ironically I don't think I've had to the time to write much since. Complaining about this stuff for the sake of what? Articles rarely get over 10 views lol. It's not exactly a traffic hub. The average views for articles are around 10 views. Gonna guess a lot of the same people that check the times are the ones clicking on this stuff. I don't see anything wrong with the big companies, big orgs, or big fighters making the top of the headlines. That's realistic. There's still plenty of space for the little companies and write ups to get added too. I think a lot of the 'unpublished' stuff are things that come in clumped up with no formatting and events that have already occurred that are getting released (better) late (than never). Seeing Syn' or GAMMA's news getting pushed aside for Bo's Crab Shack on the Island doesn't make much sense. I think there's plenty of room for both and neither should be tossed aside. Getting rid of one because it's already popular doesn't make sense and getting rid of one because it's not popular enough, not quite fair either. Plenty of room for both in the articles, but Jay's definitely gonna need a lot more help to get this stuff organized and produced in a timely manner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiv Posted July 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Chris - The small boosts of hype etc you get are far more important for small companies and orgs than they are for big ones. I think if people are willing to help out - it should be welcomed with open arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
